Or why is there a Father's Day but not a Son's Day? Are offsprings undervalued?

I think you're right, there should be a Daughter/Son's day. Why not? There's a dedicated day for everything!
Some people here have said that it would mean celebrating everyone, as everyone is a son/daughter. What's wrong with that? Nobody has sprung up from under a tree, everyone had a mum and dad : isn't that a lot of people?
I see lots of people here say that daughter's/son's day is everyday...what the heck does that mean???? that they get food? So much resentment and "oh, the poor martyr parent" goes on in the world.
Others said that kids get birthday/Christmas presents. Well, don't parents get anything on their birthday?
The thing is that people pop out children, who do NOT ask to be born, and then feel like they're soooo generous, because they've done something special and the kid should be grateful and blah, blah, blah. In short: now that you're born you have to lick my boots for eternity. Most parents spend their entire lives trying to make the kids feel guilty for all the sacrifices they have made for them! If you didn't want to do them, why have kids???
Such a dirty blackmail. You're born, now you OWE me. No you don't get a celebration day. You get fed, wathca want?
Let alone dedicating a day to the celebration of being a daughter/son...
Well, nobody said the world was fair...still, I think there should be a day for Sons and Daughters.

Mothers and Fathers's day is everyday! They get pure, puppy love from all children, still that's obviously not enough. I have a child and I can say her love is very important to me, it's worth anything in the world and I would welcome a Daughter's Day!
Children are important. Spoiled children are not children who are valued and loved, but those who get expensive gear everyday to shut their mouths, and get to skip all chores and duties. How is celebrating one day for your Daughter spoiling her?
Parents are such victims, aren't they? You just need to read the answers here to find out...be grateful, if it wasn't for them, and all that. What would parents be without their children?
I think that ONE day celebrating sons and daughters is not much, and it doesn't mean money either, why a present? A hug is enough, a card, a flower, a simple gesture to say: I like you being around, I cherish you kid.
Fat chance.
Of course, we have to be grateful because we are born, parents don't because they put us in the world. Well, we're old who will take care of us? Yes, hallo, the children you resent so much now. Will you be grateful then?
Of course not! It's their duty to take care of you when you're old and demented.
So, let's face the truth: children do get a rough deal when it comes to be valued members of our society. They are considered little more than legal scavengers that should be apologizing for cluttering the hallway!

It's like that because Daughters day means all the females including little girls, teens, mothers and grandma's and great-grandmas. Then you'll have to buy more gifts for every girl. Plus wouldn't it be hard on the guys? They have to get their girl presents for Valentines day, Christmas, Anniversary, and now Daughter's day.
The same goes for Father's day and son's day.
Besides, parent's do a lot for their kids so we aren't undervalued.

Offspring are not undervalued (not by most people at least). Moterh's Day and Father's Day are days to recognize our parents, for all they have done for us, all the sacrifices they have made for us so that we may enjoy each birthday, Christmas, first day of school, first love (and heartbreak), first everything...think of all the things we have been fortunate enough to experience because our parents have made it possible. I know that is not true for everyone, and some people want to be selfish...but in most cases, parents sacrifice a lot for their kids, so is it really wrong that there are special days set aside for them?

Nah...offspring is not undervalued...look at birthdays....
I guess you can look at it that being a daughter/son is not a choice we make but is something that mother's and father's make....So you're celebrating their selflessniss in making a choice to be a parent.

Ok, I didn't realize about the official Daughters and Sons Days, but think about it: when you're a parent, every day is about the kids: feeding, changing, clothing, playing with, buying for, teaching, on and on. And you really think that all of that isn't enough??? Sure, it's what parents are supposed to do, but then on top of that we need to worry about specific days, too? Geez...

This generation is too spoiled already. When my grandpa
was in eighth grade, he got kicked out of his house to go
make a living. Brats are coddled and spoiled so they can't
make it in the real world... and no, you don't get a Son or
Daughter Day.

Isn't it always daughters and sons day? My parents always put their children first. I see no problem with giving them a special day.
